Yesterday evening the final selection of FameLab Pavia was held and the winner was Matteo Cabrini, a brilliant Post-Doc of the IGM-CNR who gave a presentation on Homeopathy.

FameLab Pavia was organized by INFN in collaboration with the Municipality of Pavia, IUSS University School of Pavia, EUCENTRE and the Institute of Molecular Genetics-CNR.

The compliments to Matteo and the second classified who spoke about biotechnology with an intervention on beer. But congratulations to all the participants who have cheered us with presentations on different aspects of science ranging from psychology, medicine, biotechnology, physics. And a compliment also to the two young students of the linguistic high school who have ventured out of competition.
